An Exeter police report said that Steven Lewis, a former photography teacher who was fired by the school last week, admitted to kissing a student and meeting her after graduation, but he said he didn't know how old she was at the time.

Police said the student told them she had a three-month consensual relationship with Lewis during her senior year when she was 18. She said the two "kissed and fondled" in the school's darkroom.

In the meantime, state Rep. Katherine Prudhomme O'Brien, R-Derry, is asking the state attorney general to investigate Phillips Exeter's handling of several sexual misconduct allegations.

O'Brien said she believes the school and former Principal Tom Hassan might have deliberately covered up sexual misconduct reports. Eighteen Republican state representatives have signed her letter.

"I think a lot of us, Republicans, were reluctant to say anything because we didn't want to politicize it," she said. "But there's no way to not do so given the position of the people involved."

Lewis will not face charges because the statute of limitations has expired.
